Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: It is Creation, as well as Destruction
Lan Xuanyu ultimately didn’t ask why he had to undergo such painful cultivation of Annihilation Thunder. In front of his father, he didn’t want to show weakness, nor did he want his father to think less of him. He kept biting down and persevering, repeatedly breaking through the verge of collapse. He released the Annihilation Divine Thunder time and again.
Gradually, Lan Xuanyu began to feel the changes within himself. To his surprise, in the process of repeatedly using the Annihilation Divine Thunder, he not only became familiar with his increased strength, but more importantly, he felt his entire body transforming.
When he first broke through, although he felt powerful, as if he had undergone a rebirth, at that time, he seemed to be floating in the air. The sudden enhancement of strength was tremendous, but it felt somewhat illusory.
However, as he continued to practice the Annihilation Divine Thunder, the sense of being unreal slowly disappeared, replaced by a feeling of solidity. It was like the feeling of bursting forth with power after a long period of accumulation leading to a breakthrough.
Every time he practiced the Annihilation Divine Thunder, it seemed to enhance the accumulation within him, making his whole being seem more substantial. So much so that later on, the pain disappeared, and he even voluntarily increased the power of the elemental storm a few notches, seeking that stimulating sensation within oppression.
What was more miraculous was that the Annihilation Divine Thunder was indeed terrifying, but after each use, Lan Xuanyu could feel subtle changes happening to his body, becoming more resilient. The fusion between bloodline power and Soul Power became more harmonious. Even the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King seemed to be stimulated, becoming more active.
After countless practices, Tang Wulin endured another blast of Annihilation Divine Thunder and then nodded to Lan Xuanyu, saying, “You can stop now.”
Lan Xuanyu, hands braced against his knees, was breathing heavily. He looked at Tang Wulin with some confusion.
“You’ve basically mastered the Annihilation Divine Thunder. If you use it in the future, you should keep its total amount within the range you can completely control,” Tang Wulin said with a smile as he came to Lan Xuanyu’s side, and a gentle injection of Soul Power revitalized him instantly.
“Aren’t we going to continue practicing?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Tang Wulin said, “That’s enough. Your time is up, and you should go back. You’ve done better than I expected. I thought you wouldn’t be able to hold on. But you haven’t uttered a single word of complaint. You’ve done very well.”
Lan Xuanyu managed a weak smile; the past process was too painful to revisit, and he was reluctant to recall it.
Tang Wulin said, “You should feel the changes in yourself by now. The Annihilation Divine Thunder, or indeed, the elemental calamity, possesses terrifying destructive power. But at the same time, it also has immense creative force.”
“It’s like when we are forging. When you reach the final stage of God Forging, the metal must endure the might of the lightning tribulation. Beneath the baptism of the lightning tribulation, the metal undergoes a final metamorphosis, turning from common iron into divine iron. We Blacksmiths must also bear the power of the lightning tribulation then, allowing it to gradually improve the metal rather than shattering it to pieces in an instant. Therefore, Divine Craftsmen are extremely rare. Even if they exist, it is difficult for them to maintain forging for many years, because the lightning tribulation causes wounds to them.”
“Lightning tribulation has the ability to transform metal because it is the most miraculous force of forging, a natural cyclic element rule of the world. Therefore, when you practice Annihilation Thunder yourself, it is also forging your body. It is an all-encompassing forging, from Spiritual Power to the body, to Soul Power, to bloodline. All are being tempered under its influence. Thus, Annihilation Thunder for you is not just an Attack Power, but also a method of cultivation.”
“You should be able to feel that under normal circumstances, you cultivate Soul Power very slowly. That’s because your bloodline power is too strong, and it constantly devours your Soul Power to replenish itself during your cultivation process. Meanwhile, God Destruction Thunder injects the compressed Elemental Energy into your body, refining you and enabling you to better adapt to absorbing Elemental Energy to enhance yourself. With it, your cultivation speed will also be faster. Just don’t push to the limit in the process of cultivation, use Annihilation Thunder within a controllable range to temper your body. This is a method of cultivation, Body Refining Technique, war method, as well as Art of God Forging.”
At this point, Tang Wulin looked at Lan Xuanyu with a smile and said, “Do you understand?”
Lan Xuanyu at this moment came to a sudden realization and subtly nodded.
Tang Wulin said, “Your situation is unique, so I’ve been thinking about what method of cultivation would suit you best, allowing you to grow steadily and quickly. In the end, I thought of this method. I originally planned to help you condense Annihilation Divine Thunder through forging, but I didn’t expect that you could already do it yourself through the elemental storm. Annihilation Divine Thunder is not just thunder, in the future, when you can control it better, it can also be added to any weapon you use. This is a God Rank war method. It possesses the power of both creation and destruction. In the future, it will have two more evolutions. If you can complete them, then the reappearance of the Dragon God is not a dream.”
“Two evolutions? What do you mean?” Lan Xuanyu had understood something.
Tang Wulin said, “When you have mastered the darkness element and the four basic elements evolve into the Seven Basic Elements, it will be one evolution. You will also need to retrain Annihilation Thunder. When you retrain it, I must be by your side, ensuring safety through the Time Backtrack Field. The other will be in the future when you reach the peak and break through the final ninth soul ring. On top of the Seven Basic Elements, adding life and destruction. When all nine elements are complete, becoming a Dragon God will be just a step away. At that time, Annihilation Thunder will also face the greatest challenge. Once you break through, you might truly possess the God King’s Power. But that step will be the most difficult to take, because at that time, no one can help you, you can only rely on your own strength.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded.
Tang Wulin said, “I will stay in the academy and close myself off to meditate, to comprehend more on life and destruction. When the time comes, I will pass on my insights to you, which should be of help. However, that should be a matter for much later. The reason I kept pushing you to your limits during this cultivation wasn’t just to accelerate your improvement, but also to make you understand that every risk taken is at the brink of one’s limits, and one misstep could lead to a total loss. Therefore, the more dangerous the situation, the more stable you need to be. Taking risks doesn’t mean being reckless.”
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, “I understand. Uncle Le—no, I…” he knew that everything Tang Wulin did was for his own good, and under the surge of emotions, he almost changed how he addressed him.
Tang Wulin opened his arms and embraced him, “There’s no hurry, wait until your mother wakes up. Our family will be reunited soon. When the time comes, I will call you back. It won’t be too late then.”
“Mmm, mmm,” Lan Xuanyu vigorously nodded.
When the Thirty-Three Skywing ship set sail again, the Warship became crowded for the first time. It couldn’t help but be crowded, since there were a total of forty-five hundred-thousand-year plant-class soul beasts following them.
After internal discussions by the Sea God’s Pavilion, it was decided not to have all the hundred-thousand-year plant-class soul beasts accompany Lan Xuanyu on their departure. One reason was that the Thirty-Three Skywing Warship could not bear such a number of beings. Another concern was that having too many plant-class leaders going at once, and absorbing a vast amount of life energy, could easily give them away.
Of course, the most critical reason was that all plans were still in a stage of conjecture; whether they could be really achieved, and whether they would bring benefits to the Eternal Tree and the plant-class soul beasts, was still undecided.
